Trying this now! Will report back.
I also have the 100% to 90% issue in a matter of a couple minutes off the charger.
Edit: Can confirm this works. Battery hasn't dropped from 100 yet and its been 5 minutes.
Nice Find Thanks!

VERY TRUE everything he says !!! Li-Po batteries in RC/CARS, Planes, ETC. need to be balanced and most lipo chargers for such batteries have a balancer in them! So, what I'm saying is this makes total sense, someone should build an app that would be awesome or somehow integrated into firmware.
Update: still at 97 percent and hv been downloading the whole time!

I noticed something like this the other night. I had been doing things around my house and needed to charge my Evo before I went out. After charging it in the AC outlet, then to USB, then back to AC, I noticed my battery lasting much longer before dropping the 10% it usually drops within minutes. Sometimes it drops from 100 to 99 within seconds of being off the charger, but last night, it stayed at 100% for at least an hour.
This definitely works.

Anyone know if we have to do this each time we charge the phone, or what?

Over the weekend, I spent several hours tinkering with root, custom roms etc. I was plugging in, and unplugging quite a bit while I already had the phone charged at 100%. Without knowing it, I had actually done these steps. At about 24 hours off the charger, I finally plugged it in at 38%. Awake time was about 7 hours. It dropped quite a bit at the end because I watched a handful of youtube videos. Either way, based on this, I think I can potentially confirm that it works.
However, this morning, it dropped 10% in the first hour. So I'm trying it again to see how it goes. I'll update with my results..

Worked for me! Great post.
My battery used to drop from 100-90 almost instantly after I pulled it from the charger. It now hangs around 98 for quite some time. Still doing this, since I didnt get a full 10 plug/unplugs in the first time.
Proof of not, I feel like I'm just "topping off" the battery... whatever it is, I'm pleased. this method + damage control rom has been working great. Poor battery issues are gone.

Question - does this procedure require exactly 10 cycles of steps 1-3? Or are we repeating the cycle until some kind of indicator such as the light starting out green (instead of orange) when plugging it back in?

I did this last night after flashing the "buglessbeast" rom onto my phone. The combination of the two seems to making a huge difference.
My phone stayed at 100% for ~50 minutes on standby after taking it off the charger.
I watched a few youtube videos on 3g and fiddled with it for around an hour, the battery is currently at 80% 5 hours off the charger
Not sure if this method is the exact reason why my battery improved so much, but thats my experience.
Before I did these things, my battery would drop around 4% per hour on standby...

3Preparing...
With the phone in the on position.
Fully charge the battery with the phone on... (until the led turns green.)
Once the led turns green, unplug the charger until the led goes off.
After the led goes off, plug the charger back in. When the led turns green , power off the phone.
now.... with the phone fully powered off...
1. Unplug the charger.
2. Wait until led goes off.
3. Plug charger back in until the led turns green. When it turns green, unplug the charger again and go to step 1.
4. repeat steps 1 and 3, 10 times. This may take anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 mins per cycle. Typically only about 1 minute. though.
DO NOT DRAIN THE BATTERY. The goal is not to empty the battery and recharge like ni-cads (those have memory, these don't). These are lithiums, so we need to do the opposite...1
you're arguing solid science to people who want to squeeze more life out of their batteries and are willing to try anything and everything to do so! good luck ;-)
thanks for the sanity check, nethopper.
1Charge the phone normally until green, remove charger, turn it off and charge to green again, unplug and charge again, about 6 times then turn on to see voltage. If necessary, do it again.
Then make sure it says 100%, boot to recovery, and wipe battery stats.

Download BatteryTime by Molaten - I believe that's what shows me my battery information on my EVO (temp/voltage). Have the option to show the battery life percentage in your notification bar - when you drag the bar down it'll show you the voltage and temperature of the battery.
